Based on my understanding, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), commercially known as Granactive Retinoid, works differently from other Retinoids by directly binding to Retinoid receptors without needing conversion steps like other Retinoids. Test results seem impressive, even though there isn't much research available yet. I would like to ask if it's possible to include HPR and ActiveRelease Retinal™ in the same formula. Since there isn't much research on HPR yet, I don't want to completely remove Retinaldehyde from the formula.

Is this formula okay? Do you have any additional recommendations? 2. Should Mild Preserved Eco be mixed in water or in Silky Serum Base Plus without a blender? 3. Can RO water with EDTA be used instead of DI water?

Based on my reading, EUK-134 is unstable in water. However, the information on the company's product page does not mention this stability issue. I would like to know if the EUK-134 (Ethylbisiminomethylguaiacol Manganese Chloride) sold by the company has any specific precautions regarding its stability. Thank you.
Regarding the KeraStraight™ hair straightening formula with the composition: 1. BTAC 3%, 2. Ceteraryl Alcohol 3%, 3. Silicone Hi-Cond 1%, 4. Vitamin B5 1%, 5. Poly-Conditioner Eco 1%, 6. KeraStraight™ 20%, 7. Mild Preserved Eco 1%, 8. Water to 100%. 1. Is the expected texture of this formula supposed to be quite liquid, almost passing through fingers? I'm unsure if this formula should be this way from the start. 2. If a thicker texture, like shampoo, is desired, can it be achieved? Which ingredient(s) and what quantity should be used per formula? Or is it not advisable to thicken it like shampoo? 3. Regarding the usage instructions, specifically steps 3-5, after applying the product onto the hair (step 3) and blow-drying/combing straight (step 4), is the hair flat ironed (step 5) immediately without rinsing the product out? I am concerned about potential hair burning or damage from flat ironing with the product left on. 4. What is the recommended frequency for using this hair straightening formula according to the example formula? Can oil be added to the formula for hair nourishment, and would adding oil negatively affect the formula or its performance?
